Exciting news soccer lovers and friends!
Several years ago a professional women's soccer league was born, and announced dead in early 2011. Well step back haters, a new professional women's soccer league is about to be kicked off in 2013! (I apologize in advance if there are a lot of exclamation points in this post, it is just so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The yet to be named new soccer league would consist of at least 8 teams including 3 former WPS teams (Boston Breakers, Chicago Red Stars, and New Jersey Blue Sky). It is important to note that this is not a competitor to the existing leagues, but rather this is a large step up on the competitive level and professional standards. It is a chance for a fresh start for WPS and for lady footballers all across the nation!
This has been something that professional players have craved for so long. Our beloved USWNT has captured the heart of so many soccer lovers across the globe and they have taken the sport of women's soccer to the next level. For so long players like Christie Rampone, Abby Wambach, Alex Morgan, and the rest of the team have spent their own money traveling the nation promoting the sport. They don't want to beautiful sport to die out in this nation, and they are doing everything in their power to keep it alive. The lady footballers have seen 6 seasons of WPS start and fail right before their eyes. Rampone explains that they have looked into what went wrong, and now it is just time to improve and go to work. There is still a lot of work to be done to be able to get up to the level like the mens national team is, but the ladies are willing to work their butts of to get there! Young, talented players like Alex Morgan want more then ever to stay in the US and play the sport they love, but if it comes down to it she said she will look to study abroad if that is the only option. We don't want this to happen!!!
This new league coming to a stadium near you in 2013 is a sign of hope. The women's national team winning a gold medal in London this past summer was a huge part of what grabbed the attention of soccer lovers around the globe. Listen up ladies and gentleman, because this is something I am truly passionate about: Every day I talk about these women to someone. I express my love of soccer, I go out and kick a ball around, and I cheer for every game my ladies play. If you truly love futball, you will go out and spread the word and support this new professional league! The women's Seattle Sounders team is my favorite team and I would love more then anything to go to a game someday. I am a huge supporter of this dream, I believe women's soccer can be bigger then any other US sport. I say BRINT IT ON! Get out and support your teams when the league starts! Help make the beautiful game known to others! It is up to us to support our ladies. LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Peace. Love. Soccer. Lady Footballers <3
Have a great day!
